A light-filled drone video showcasing Christmas decorations at the White House takes viewers on a festive journey. In a touching voiceover, President Obama reflects on the true meaning of Christmas and calls for unity and understanding among Americans.
The light-filled journey, filmed by a drone, roamed through rooms of Christmas trees and even one featuring a carousel. A sumptuous display of baked goods caught the camera’s eye as well. Though the video didn't explicitly mention Christmas, the outgoing president delivered a reverent voiceover for the White House excursion, noting “how silently the wondrous gift is given” from a passage in scripture.
He also spoke of the birth of the child “Christians believe to be the son of God bringing hope and love and peace and joy to the world.” “Too often we see each other as enemies ― not as neighbors, not as fellow Americans,” he said. “So my hope this Christmas season is that we take a few moments of quiet reflection and find that stillness in the heart of Christmas and look at each other as who we really are: fellow Americans, fellow human beings worthy of being treated with dignity and respect. Because there’s so much that unites as Americans, so much more that unites us than divides us.
